Supplementary description. Male genitalia
(
Figs. 117–120
): Tergite VIII (
Figs. 117
a, 117c) broader than long, apex rounded, with sparse and short setae. Spiculum gastrale much shorter than ringed part of tegmen in length, spiculum relictum shorter than a half of spiculum gastrale. Tegmen (
Figs. 118
a–c) length about
3.4 mm
; lateral lobes stout, each about
0.4 mm
long and
0.2 mm
wide (
Fig. 118
d), apex truncated and with fine setae which are as long as or shorter than lateral lobes, basal 2/3 strongly expanded in lateral view (
Fig. 118
); median lobe slightly curved (
Fig. 119
b), much longer than tegmen (9:7); median struts about half-length of median lobe (
Fig. 119
c); apex of ventral plate (
Fig. 119
a) sharply pointed; endophallus two times as long as median lobe, with two pairs of basal plate-like sclerites (located right behind apex of median struts), two bands of indistinct supporting armature, and three rod-like sclerites at end (
Fig. 120
), two longer ones each about
2.4 mm
, much shorter than tegmen, short one about
1.9 mm
.
Female genitalia
: spermathecal capsule (
Fig. 121
) composed of an apical orb and a strongly curved stalk, strongly sclerotized part of stalk shorter than apical orb in length. Spiculum ventrale subequal to abdomen in length. In our observation, spiculum ventrale measured 8.0 mm for an adult compared with abdomen which measured
7.8 mm
in ventral view.
Diagnosis.
Among the congeners with metallic scales, this species can be easily distinguished by the smaller black maculae on both pronotum and elytra, especially the narrow black hook on apical half of elytra, and the distinct apex of lateral lobes of tegmen (
Figs. 118
a–e).
Host plants.
Prunus armeniaca
Linnaeus (Rosaceae)
,
Salix
sp. (
Salicaceae
).
Remarks.
Shaanxi
was first reported by
Zhou
et al.
(1988)
but we believe that was a misidentification of
E. shaanxiana
Lin & Yang
sp. nov.
, which may be confirmed by the figure
143 in
that book. Therefore, we remove it from that locality list in this work.
